Final Fantasy IX Part 3
Are you ready to farm blue magic? I sure am!
You can get some fantastic prizes from Chocobo Hot & Cold - Protect Ring and Robe of Lords are two of the best items in the game - but it requires copious amounts of grinding that irritating minigame. Thankfully if you use the speed up feature in the HD ports the timer still runs at the same speed so the process goes much faster; you can consistently hit 8 prizes dug up for the max bonus and get 100+ points per run.
There's also several more Chocographs to uncover but I was just interested in the second one as it's the only other one whose prize we can collect at the moment.
This one contains 5 Potions, 5 Hi-potions, 2 Tents and 2 Cotton Robes. Nothing incredible but still worth getting.
Final Fantasy VII Part 2
It's the ONLY way.
(Also hey that's about 35 hours of the remake done in 5!)
Final Fantasy VII Part 1
A groundbreaking if somewhat dated RPG classic.
I am playing with the 7th Heaven mod manager and the following mods installed:
60/30 FPS Gameplay
Ninostyle Battle
Ninostyle HD
[Tsunamods] Shinra Archaeology Cut
[Tsunamods] SYW Unified Spell Textures
[Tsunamods] SYW Unified UI

Final Fantasy IX Part 1
The Final Fantasy series learned hard into science fiction territory in the PS1 era, so IX was an attempt to return it to more fantasy-based fare while still retaining some of the darker themes and gameplay improvements of the later games. It worked quite well, I think; it's my favorite of the PS1 Final Fantasy games and probably my second favorite mainline game overall after 5. The only thing I dislike is that the minigames really suck; thankfully they're almost entirely optional and not tied to any major character improvements, unlike say, X or FF7 Rebirth.
I'm playing with the Memoria mod and the Moguri graphical enhancement pack. It's an unstable build so it tends to crash; thankfully it also autosaves so you don't lose a lot of progress when it does.
I forgot about this guy. Ran into him twice while doing some off-camera skill point farming.
Answer his questions correctly and you get money and items. Answering all 16 correctly gets you an achievement in the HD versions.
(The correct answer to both of these is "false")
Final Fantasy VI Part 8 (Finale)
The world is saved (in the dumbest way possible)
Honestly if the game has a major shortcoming it's that there's all these sidequests to do and the potential to become so absurdly powerful but the challenge just kind of stops being present once you hit level ~40 so it all feels a bit superfluous. Could really use a few superbosses, or maybe a harder difficulty setting.
Maybe that could be if they ever do a HD-2D remake, or something along the lines of the FF7 Remake series. This game would work a lot better for that format I think
